Other things to note
PROPERTY NOTES

This home was lovingly renovated, but is 70+ years old and retains original features such as uneven plaster walls and worn-in hardwood floors. These characteristics do not affect comfort or quality but are part of the charm of an older home.

Landscaping occurs once a week, typically Thursdays unless delayed by weather or holidays. Leaves from the neighboring oak tree are unavoidable. If you plan to use the patio and want it freshly cleared, please reach out in advance.

SMART HOME

Echo Dot devices are located in the living room and bedrooms for playing music, setting timers, and controlling ambient lighting. They do not record audio and have no camera functions. A Ring doorbell is installed for safety and must not be tampered with.
